With Christmas only a few days away, it’s about time to start putting up decorations to get into the festive spirit. But if you still don’t have your ornaments and knick-knacks ready to makeover your house, don’t worry, we got you.
Ahead you will find DIY Christmas decorations that are not only cute and pretty but also simple and inexpensive to recreate. Better yet? If you have little ones with too much energy running about, some of these craft activities are kid-friendly and will be sure to keep them entertained.
Whether you want to create little snowmen or garlands to hang on your walls, these 10 DIY ideas may be what you need to make your home a Christmas wonderland.
For this DIY, you will need a balloon, some twine, and lots of white glue. Fill the balloon up and then wrap the twine around it, making sure to leave a sizeable gap for you to put the lights in afterwards. Once you’ve covered it, leave it to dry before popping the balloon. Add your lights into the structure and voila, you’re done!
If you want to add a little more personality to them, you can paint the yarn different colours so that each one will look unique even when not lit up.

Do you happen to have unworn socks lying around the house? Maybe you received them from acquaintances or family friends last Christmas. Or maybe you have a sock that has lost its pair. Whatever it is, you can now turn them into adorable snowmen.
All you need are socks (one white and one coloured), some elastics, grains of rice, and the other materials for its face.
Of course, if you don’t have the materials shown in the video to decorate your snowman’s face, you can use buttons, markers, stickers, or anything that fits. Remember: if it works, it works!
If you have some yarn lying around, get them out of storage to make these hat ornaments. All you need is yarn of any colour, a hot glue gun, a toilet paper roller, and a piece of paper to wrap the thread around.
These are cute, simple, and you can customise them by mixing the colours, using two buttons to create eyes and turn it into a gnome, and much more.

DISCLAIMER: do not let your pets eat this or bite it as salt dough can be lethal when eaten. Once done getting their paw prints, wash off their paws.
Have some furry friends who you want to include in the Christmas fun? This ornament is simple to make and it requires three ingredients and your pet’s helping hand.
To harden it, bake it in the oven for two hours at 120 degrees Celsius. Afterwards, loop a ribbon through it and hang it high on the tree. If you want to really highlight the paw prints, you can paint over the indents to really make it pop.

This one might require a bit of time, but it will be worth it in the end. Grab an orange and slice it thinly before baking them at 93 degrees Celsius for four to six hours. Flip the slices every one to two hours. After, just string the orange slices on some twine and hang it up on your wall.
Don’t worry about them going bad. Dried orange slices can last up to two years, so you’re all set.

Do you have ornaments that you are just tired of reusing every year? Well, it’s time to change them up a bit.
For this Mickey Mouse DIY, you will need a hot glue gun, a stick, and a lighter. Some in the comment section of the video have recommended just using the hot glue gun and not using the lighter, so you can opt to try that as well.
Mix and match the ornament colours, whether they are glitter or matte, and just have fun with this. You can even put a little bow in it to give Mickey a Miney.

With some square cardstock paper or notebook covers (which the original poster used), you can create a northern star for your own home. All you need is to fold the paper, glue the edges of each shuriken-looking star, and then put them together. Afterwards, spray or paint it in gold. Feel free to add as much glitter as you would like to make it even more eye-catching.

All you need for this DIY are twine, glue, and paper. Fold a piece of paper in half, draw your desired shape, and glue it at the top, bottom, and middle as shown. To make things more interesting, you could alternate the colour of the papers or add some rhinestones for some extra bling.
Have some leftover plastic cups from a house party or birthday celebration? Turn them into decorations with your oven and some markers. You can either draw on the cups before melting them down or vice versa. Once the cups have become thin circles, drill a hole through them and put some twine through them so you can hang them from your tree.
Alternatively, you can string them all together and make your own garland.

What is Christmas without a little snowflake action? All you need is paper, a pencil, and some scissors. Hang it around the house, paste it on the wall, or do anything else you could think of.
